About this map

The Sprague River meanders through the heart of this Klamath County landscape, defining the character of the settlement at the Sprague River townsite. This high-country valley is punctuated by several prominent landforms, including Magpie Butte, Eagle Butte, and Watchdog Butte, which stand as sentinels over the river's winding path. In the eastern portion of the survey, the Sprague River Post Office serves as a central hub for the small community near the intersection of County Hwy-589 and Main Ave.

To the west and south, the terrain shifts into a complex of flats and ridges marked by Devils Garden and Switchback Flat. Local history is preserved in the naming of rural landmarks such as Skeen Ranch and the remote Shaws Camp. The map also captures the hydrography of the region's smaller tributaries, including Trout Creek, Cherry Creek, and Buck Creek, along with water sources like Cruikshank Spring located near the base of Cruikshank Butte.
